From Bergen: Scenic Fjord Cruise to Mostraumen

Discover the stunning natural beauty of the Norwegian fjords on a scenic fjord cruise from Bergen. Board a modern and comfortable boat and catch views of Bryggen, a UNESCO World Heritage site, as you set sail from the city center. Venture through the majestic Osterfjord with striking mountain landscapes and waterfalls. The further into the fjord you get, the steeper and more powerful the mountain landscape becomes. Enter the sun deck as the captain steers the boat’s bow so close to a waterfall that you can feel its refreshing spray. Sit back and relax on the sun deck or inside the warm and comfortable cabin, and remember to look for eagles along the fjord's shores. Stop by the kiosk for some tasty locally baked treats to enjoy as you take in the wonderful scenery. On the coldest days, there may even be ice in the fjord, adding its own special thrill. The captain then chooses an alternative route that gives you the same magical fjord experiences in winter scenery.

Tromsø: Whale Watching Tour by Hybrid-Electric Catamaran

Tromsø: Whale Watching Tour by Hybrid-Electric Catamaran

Set sail on a hybrid electric catamaran cruise for the Arctic waters and observe marine animals in their natural habitat. Watch orcas, Fin whales, Sperm whales and/or Humpback whales feed in the icy fjords and admire the stunning landscapes around you. Depart from Tromsø in the morning, and head out to Skjervøy where the whales are in time to enjoy the short hours of daylight. Take in the breathtaking views of frozen landscapes in comfortable, panoramic lounges. Our boats are designed for sightseeing and with capacity for over 100 guests. Yet the large panoramic windows and the multi-level decks allows you to enjoy the views from anywhere on board. Find a selection of food and drinks for purchase on board. Sail for about 3 to 3.5 hours to reach the whales and spend about 1 to 1.5 hours around their feeding grounds. Our captain will keep an eye out for the whales. Sometimes it takes a little longer to spot an Humpback, Fin, Sperm whale and/or Orca but our guides have some nifty tricks to spot them. While we search for the whales, our passionate guides will share their personal stories from the Tromsø area and interesting sights that we can see from the fjords. Of course, a whale watching tour would not be complete without an abundance of information about the Humpbacks, Fin, Sperm whales and/or Orca's. Once the whales have been spotted, we will switch to our electric and silent engine to minimize disturbance to the whales. The vibrations and noise from the engines have been cited by researchers as a large disturbance to marine life and whales. We strive to work towards better and more responsible whale watching tourism and therefor we follow a strict whale watching philosophy. One ticket option is done by boat. The other ticket option half of the journey will be by bus. On both tours, the time you spend searching for and with the whales is around the same. Note: Please bring warm cloths, including your wool and equivalent. We sail in the arctic waters, and its cold, especially out at sea. Our saloons are heated and comfortable, but its cold outside.

Our guide Kevin was the best! A positive and friendly guy you could comfortably have a talk with. He made sure we kept a positive mindset towards seeing the northern lights, if they appeared. We got some really good activity right off the bat, with around 45 mins / 1 hour of strong activity. It then quieted down for the remaining of the trip, and just when we were about to return, we moved to a different spot halfway back to Tromsø, and we got to see some even stronger activity and "dancing lights" to finish off the day strong!

Possibly the best experience we've had in Tromsø! All others were great too, but this one was just something else. Michael shared with us a lot of stories about Sami culture and was more than available to answer any and all questions we had! The location itself was also beautiful and feeding the reindeers was just lovely and a memory of a lifetime. The traditional cuisine also knocked our boots off!

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the knowledge provided by the guide. One small point, my sister, who is disabled and finds it difficult to stand for any length of time, would have appreciated a chair. The hot drink afterwards was very much appreciated.

Our guide Andres was really friendly and made sure to pass all sorts of fun facts and curiosities. The weather was great but very windy, not that it stopped from enjoying the amazing sights we were gifted with. The picnic was also a lovely experience!

Magical experience! The guide Alejandro is very friendly. Great organization to see the northern lights. I recommend!
